Heaven In His Eyes (Demo Version)
[Verse 1]
See the Teacher sitting on a mountain
See Him walking along the shore
His friends and disciples are gathering around Him
Never spake a man like this before
[Chorus 1]
But why is a man as wise as He
Weeping alone in Gethsemane
Could He know that some would never see
The heaven in His eyes
[Verse 2]
See the Master walking on the water
Hear Him speak and calm an angry wave
Look at Him raising up Jairus's daughter
With a word Lazarus comes forth from the grave
[Chorus 2]
Why is a man is strong as this
Being betrayed by a good friend's kiss
Could it be that maybe this man missed
The heaven in His eyes
[Bridge]
And I'm not talking about your pie in the sky
That good girls and boys get in the by-and-by
But rather the strength that we could find
If we've got the guts to try and die
[Verse 3]
See the Teacher playing with the children
And hear Him baffle the doctors of the law
Look at the people gathering to go with Him
Those who see the vision that He saw
[Chorus 3]
This is why a man as holy as He
Had to die alone on Calvary
Cause it was the only way we could ever see
The heaven in His eyes
And heaven's in His eyes...
[Musical Interlude]
And heaven's in His eyes
Heaven's in His eyes
[Musical Outro]
